Problem Burning L1 Of DL DVDs

[Coaster King]

Hello...

 

I'm new to ImgBurn, and new to burning Dual Layer DVDs.

 

I've successfully burned about ten 4.7GB single layer DVDs using ImgBurn without producing a single coaster. But as you'll see from the ImgBurn log I've attached, I'm having trouble burning DL discs. Layer 0 burns without any apparent problems, but as soon as it reaches 50% completion and starts burning layer 1, it looks like it progresses fine for a few seconds, then freezes for a few seconds, then progresses some more, etc., etc., etc. This went on for 25 minutes, reaching about 75% completion, when it finally timed out. ...And yes, I've seen warnings on the Forum about using anything but Verbatim discs, but thought I'd post this before I trash my investment in blank DL discs.

 

BTW, ImgBurn reported that the blank DL discs I'm using allow 4X, 6X and 8X writing, so I chose to burn at 4X.

 

OS: Windows XP - SP2

Burner: External Sony DW-G120A (aka Sony DRU-120C as per label on drive), via USB port

Blank Ricoh DL DVD+R 8X discs - MID: "RICOHJPN-D01-67"

 

 

Thank You !

Looks more as there is a problem with the connection on your USB connector. Something made it disappear. Conflicting program that uses the USB at the same time?

Search this forum for "semaphore timeout" and try the previous suggestions on how to solve that problem.

 

By the way, UDF 1.02 is a lot more compatible than 2.60.
